working from home - Lionbridge?

[mike_ash]

Hi guys,

 

Currently looking at ways I could earn a little extra in my spare time and have seen a few (what look like legit) work from home opportunities evaluating websites / search results. I've just applied to Lionbridge and will be sent the exam details this week. Was just wondering if anyone on here either has experience working for Lionbridge (or similar companies like leapforce, appen) and whether it is worth my time completing the exam, I've done a bit of googling and reviews are mixed so was hoping someone on here might have worked for these before or be currently doing this type of work.

 

If not, anyone on here know of any legit work from home jobs, or do anything in their spare time to supplement their income?

 

Cheers,

 

Mike

Can't offer advice but with Christmas fast approaching I would be interested in any answers you might get

 

Generally I pick up the odd IT job or phone/tablet repair here and there but this is not reliable as I'm not actively going out looking for the work.

When I was a tech a few years back I placed an ad in the local free magazine for PC repair stuff and brought in some extra cash through that for a couple of years, I've noticed though in the current edition there is some guy offering to do stuff for £25 which when you factor in costs of running a car etc. isn't worth doing. I charged (and still do for word of mouth stuff) £40 fixed fee for anything up to a couple of hours work. I had some other fixed amounts for regular tasks (£60 for a reinstall of windows and transfer of files from an old machine) and occasionally there would be long jobs that cost around £150 but these usually were some sort of disaster recovery scenario.
